Food needs more care

Good selection of food for breakfast, would have been even better if it was hot, instead of just warm. In all probability I will not return

Great place! Would definitely go again. Overall, could do with a deeper clean in the room, but the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was nice, enjoyed having a bath! Wish I'd known in advance there was no lift though, as it was a struggle with such a large suitcase lol.

Nightmare at Bowden

The rooms allocated were on the top floor. There is no lift and we are both in our 70s and disabled. The staff changed the rooms, but one was over the kitchen, and the other next to what appeared to be a 747 jet testing area. I had to ask to be moved again in the middle of the night.

Reallly enjoyed the stay, the staff made it

All the staff were so professional and warm welcoming, everyone from the receptionist's, to the bar staff, cleaners and breakfast attendants. The hotel could do with a bit off a renovation for better bathroom facilities
